Magnetic-reconnection-driven Turbulence and Turbulent Reconnection Acceleration

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Abstract This paper employs an MHD-PIC method to perform numerical simulations of magnetic-reconnection-driven turbulence and turbulent reconnection acceleration of particles. Focusing on the dynamics of the magnetic reconnection, the properties of self-driven turbulence, and the behavior of particle acceleration, we find the following: (

Theory and Applications of Non-Relativistic and Relativistic Turbulent Reconnection

open access: yes, 2015
Realistic astrophysical environments are turbulent due to the extremely high Reynolds numbers. Therefore, the theories of reconnection intended for describing astrophysical reconnection should not ignore the effects of turbulence on magnetic reconnection.

Eruption and Interplanetary Evolution of a Stealthy Streamer-Blowout CME Observed by PSP at ∼0.5 AU

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Streamer-blowout coronal mass ejections (SBO-CMEs) are the dominant CME population during solar minimum. Although they are typically slow and lack clear low-coronal signatures, they can cause geomagnetic storms.

Astrophysical Implications of Turbulent Reconnection: from cosmic rays to star formation

open access: yes, 2005
Turbulent reconnection allows fast magnetic reconnection of astrophysical magnetic fields. This entails numerous astrophysical implications and opens new ways to approach long standing problems.

Rate of steady-state reconnection in an incompressible plasma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The reconnection rate is obtained for the simplest case of 2D symmetric reconnection in an incompressible plasma. In the short note (Erkaev et al., Phys. Rev.

Fractal Reconnection in Solar and Stellar Environments

open access: yes, 2016
Recent space based observations of the Sun revealed that magnetic reconnection is ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere, ranging from small scale reconnection (observed as nanoflares) to large scale one (observed as long duration flares or giant arcades ...

On the 3-D structure and dissipation of reconnection-driven flow-bursts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The structure of magnetic reconnection-driven outflows and their dissipation are explored with large-scale, 3-D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. Outflow jets resulting from 3-D reconnection with a finite length x-line form fronts as they propagate ...

Forced Magnetic Reconnection [PDF]

open access: yesPhysica Scripta, 1982
By studying a simple model problem, the time evolution of magnetic field islands which are induced by perturbing the boundary surrounding an incompressible plasma with a resonant surface inside is examined. The reconnection and island formation process for sufficiently small boundary perturbations occurs on the tearing mode time scale defined by Furth,

Where should MMS look for electron diffusion regions?

open access: yes, 2015
A great possible achievement for the MMS mission would be crossing electron diffusion regions (EDR). EDR are regions in proximity of reconnection sites where electrons decouple from field lines, breaking the frozen in condition.

Forced magnetic reconnection and plasmoid coalescence: I - MHD Simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Forced magnetic reconnection, a reconnection event triggered by external perturbation, should be ubiquitous in the solar corona. Energy released during such cases can be much greater than that which was introduced by the perturbation.
